Editor Dunton's Spirit Of the Tuuf.-As
| have never seen anything in your pa
per from DeKalb county | thought
| would write few words about
the horse interest here. When Aristos,
Jr., came here in 1880 there was not
much interest taken in drying horses, as
the draft horses had just reached this
section, and for four years they held
their ground, but for the last three years
the light harness and trotting horses
have begun to take the lead. There is
quite number of well bred drivers and
standard bred mares here at the present
time, and will mention a few. Mr.. A.
Aldrich has Harry A., converted PAGER,
record :42t, but can trot in 80 or bet
ter; DR.. Bee CHER, the dentist, has
nice bay mare, purchased in Michigan, in
foal to Royal Fearnaught, that can show
2 40 gait; S. F. Stone, the leading
druggist, has a speedy chestnut mare, by
Don. j. Robson; DR.. j. S. Barnett has
very fine 4-year-old by Aristos, Jr.. in
foal by Clifton Boy, 2 pot; George Has
kins, dealer in buggies, etc., has very
fine 5-year-old by Aristos, Jr., in foal by
Grand Sentinel; Mr.. Diehl has the stall
lion l.. j. D., by Aristos, Jr., dam by
Tom Hunter, which is the making of
first-class stock horse if given an oppor-
tunity; also the 4-year-old mare Maggie
NJ, by Young Wilkes, dam by Black Fly
ing Cloud. She is in foal by Aristos,
Jr. There is a good deal of anxiety
among the owners of these mares in re-
gard to their produce. There are great
many of Aristos, Jr.'s colts scattered
around this section, and not poor one
among the lot. | understand Mr.. II.
Rogers is in Michigan now intending to
bring back with him the stallion Don j.
Robinson, to make Il season here. Mr.. NJ.
Kennedy traded his stallion Pendennis
Sprague with A. B. Donaldson, Pontiac,
Mich, for two very fine brood mares,
one sired by Golden Bow, one by Golden
Arrow, full brother of Golden Bow.
One in foal by Sirocco, and one in foal by
Agile. Col. Pynchon bought the =
year-old stallion colt Goldbar, bv Golden
Bow. spent part of one day looking
at Mr.. Donaldson's stock, consisting of
over forty head of stations, brood mares
and colts, and, | must confess, | never
saw better lot. Not one with blem-
ish or unsoundness, and all given
chance showed themselves trotters.
There are quite number of fine driv-
ing horses here, and | hope to have a
track the coming season.
As this communication is already long
er than | intended, | will defer other
mention until some future time.
Yours truly, BUTLER.

of Biggarts Rather, furnished by Mr.. E..
M. Harrington, Sandy Hill, N. Y: "Big-
CARTS was a beautiful bright, cherry
bay, 1913 hands high, black points, long
neck and carried himself with great style
at speed. lie was rangy horse, rather
long bodied, with a bright, animated
presence, attractive and handsome. Many
of his descendants were chestnuts or sor-
rels. All of the Rattlers have pro-
nounced sort of gait, being long striders.
Some of them are inclined to be too big
gated, with tendency to dwell, so to
speak. They are all intelligent and usually
of good disposition, but occasionally the
old habit of kicking will crop out in even
the third generation. As rule they have
good bone and good feet. Their marked
characteristics are style and ranginess,
big gaits and lots of VIM" 1t would seem
